@jovanweismiller7114 4 года назад

I grew up on the Trail, just a few miles north of where the ill fated Donner Party buried Mrs. Reed's mother, Sarah Keyes, who died of old age and is buried under a tree near Alcove Spring. I had friends who lived on a farm, which had been Guittard Station, one of those semi-fortified trading posts on the trail. When they remodeled the house, they found the rifle ports in the walls under the plaster. You could see the wagon ruts in their pasture.

@DarxusC 4 года назад

Those wagons were basically boats, because of the water crossings. They didn't need to build rafts to float them, as you showed.

I had family that took the trail in 1846. Two brothers and their wives. One lost his wife in child birth around Fort Hall. He kind of lost the will to farm in Oregon and headed to California. Had several native wives and ran a trading post. Fought for native rights which got him killed in 1852 I believe.

I love this game. Remember playing in Elementery school; I named my wife after a girl I liked at the time, named my children after my friends, except one where I named him after a bully. I would pray he would get bitten by a snake or get dysentery. Didn't know what that was at the time, but it sounded painful. Found a retro gaming site with some of the game-series and repeated by old adventures. One of my 'children' was bitten twice by snakes, one on the first day of our voyage! Then he broke a leg and then he drowned near the end. He had no luck! But, he didn't die of dysentery!

Is that a certain bacteria found specifically in Oregon and nearby states or just in general stream water?

@reharp2037 4 года назад

@reharp2037 4 года назад

Lil Reg Found it. “Giardiasis is an intestinal infection caused by a protozoan and is spread by contaminated water or contact with an infected person” Aka the beaver fever. It can be found around the world, I just assumed it was found on the west coast. It can be found in any freshwater body I guess.
